Is sig p232 comfortable to wear on an ankle?
« on: April 12, 2010, 01:18:16 PM »
I am looking to buy a concealment handgun.  I already have a P229 and absolutely love it, but to wear it on a 7-8 hour shift while wearing my medical scrubs, no thank you, its too heavy & bulky.

I don't ever see myself engaging in a "fight for death" with another human being, but sometimes troubles comes your way when your not looking for it....  I noticed recently that I leave the office at night and the neighborhood I work at is not very good. 

I just want to know is the P232 is comfortable to wear on your ankle, I have already shot it at a local gun range and really enjoyed it.  I pretty much like any gun made by sig so long as it has the DA/SA/decoker feature

thank you in advance

I have a P230 - same gun different grips.
Maybe.
I guess too that could be how large you are.  When I was wearing a 34" waist jeans the cuffs did not let me.  Too tight and unless I thought of wearing bell bottoms they were going to get caught on the grip.
Now That I am in 38's and wear loose fit, may worke easier.

I wear scrubs so they are pretty baggy down there.

I am about 5'11-6'0 and about 170-180 lbs (depends on how close eating holidays are)

You can hide a pretty good sized gun in a well designed ankle holster, or a pair of leather boots.  Key is wearing loose fitting pants so the gun don't print, and can be retrieved quickly.  Though I still carry that way, sometimes, I don't like the "off balance" feel you have, especially if you have to run.

Personal opinion is a good thing, and everyone is entitled to one.  The hard part is separating informed opinion from someone who is just blowing hot air....

Wearing scrubs I would look for a crotch holster- like a fanny pack that fits inside your pants.
With the loose scrubs it will not print and is a lot easier to draw than an ankle holster where you have to either duck to the floor to draw or stand on one leg.
While some like the ankle holster I tried it and did not like it for a few reasons.
